I own a 2002 infiniti i35. while i was driving at approximately 35 miles per hour, making a left turn, i was hit on the rear driver's side (t-boned). non of my air bags deployed and i was severely injured. i sustained injuries to my neck, both shoulders and my back. the driver of the other vehicle illegally ran a stop sign. my vehicle was taken to my residence and was not repaired. as a direct and proximate result of the accident i have been permanently disabled and constantly dealing with the pain. i'm sure i would be in much better shape if the airbag would have deployed. i called the police and reported the accident when it happened. i have not informed my manufacturer of the issues that i have experienced as of yet. my vehicle currently has about 166,000 miles. another issue my 2002 infiniti i35 was having, not related to the accident referenced above, was stalling without warning on several different occasions. this happens sometimes when i am driving. when this happens, the lights on my dash panel blink on and off rapidly for a few seconds and then turns off completely. my steering wheel locks up at that time as well. *tr

I was traveling approx. 70 mph on the interstate and the vehicle "jerked", lost power and re-accelerated without losing power. the tcs off/slip and service engine soon lights all came on simultaneously. i stopped by the store and had difficulty starting the car. i immediately drove to advance auto parts to have it "diagnosed" because it was right across the street. it was diagnosed as a "cam shaft position sensor". our mechanic recommended we contact infiniti because there was a recall for this same issue (03v455000). i contacted taylor infiniti in augusta, ga and was told by the service manager, chandra, that the recall campaign had ended. she also knew nothing about the airbag recall campaign (13v136000), and there was nothing more she could do to help me. within a couple of days, the car began shutting off while in operation (while slowing down, stopped at red lights, in the middle of intersections, etc.). i have not driven the vehicle in 3 weeks, as it is obviously not safe to drive. i have checked several online infiniti owner forums, and there are literally thousands of people who are having this same problem. i wasn't aware that safety recalls had an "end" date. i called taylor infiniti back and was told my vin wasn't included in any of the campaigns. i feel strongly that the recall for this issue should be re-opened and include a wider range of vin numbers, if not to include all '02 i35s. i am terribly frustrated because i don't feel as if i should have to pay hundreds of dollars for repairs that are obviously related to this issue. coincidentally, we also replaced the lower control arm on my car in december of 2012 at an out-of-pocket cost of over $800, when this issue was also the subject of a recall campaign (02v146000), which they also said my vin was not included in. i was told the car "is an '02, and these issues are sure to arise". *js

I drive a 2002 infiniti i35 i was involved in a classic t-bone collision the front end of my vehicle totally destroyed and both vehicles were totaled. the passenger airbag deployed in my vehicle but the driver airbag did not deploy. i was wearing my safety belt. when i reported the incident to nissan/infiniti their response was to send the 2009 airbag safety manual and stated that their were no differences between the 2002/2009 model vehicles. the investigator claimed that the sensors detected the safety belt was in proper use therefore my airbag did not need to be deployed and since my passenger seat belt was not engaged that it deployed as a cautionary measure. my response was to insist on the 2002 i35 airbag safety document. it was forwarded 4 days later with striking differences, namely that there are no sensors in the interior cabin of the 2002 model as stated by the nissan/infiniti investigator. i asked if there were no sensors other than the ones in the bumper on my 2002 model how then did the communication occur in my seat belt that caused my airbag to not deploy and the passenger airbag to deploy. when her report was challenged she said her assessment was accurate and she was standing by it. she has not physically examined my vehicle to determine causation of the failed airbag deployment. i believe that the airbag is defective i was traveling 35 mph, there was no skid prior to impact both vehicles traveled an additional 20 ft. from impact point. significant injury occurred and i feel nissan has failed to do their job responsibly for their customers safety. *tr

Consumer states the vehicle at a stand still and was struck by a streetcar. the driver door was hit and none of the air bags deployed in the vehicle. the dealer was notified. please provide more information. mr
